Given the abundance of information about human rights violations carried out using technological surveillance, one would find it hard to believe that anyone could write positively about this topic. And yet, in the newspaper Delo, we recently came across an editorial by Mojca Pišek titled 'Why Chinese cameras don't bother me'. In our response, we explain why cameras do not represent freedom and security, but rather repression and surveillance. This text is in Slovenian.

Israel has since its formation subjected Palestinians to invasive surveillance. Technological advancements, mass data collection, and artificial intelligence have only strengthened this repressive power. Explore how facial recognition systems, spyware, and Israel’s data regime operate – and why holding on to hope still matters – in a piece based on a conversation between Maja and Shir Hever, coordinator of the military embargo campaign within the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement.

The AI Act still contains serious loopholes that open the door to abuse – particularly in the areas of biometric surveillance and migration. Together with the AI Act civil society coalition and the #ProtectNotSurveil coalition, we call on the European AI Board to ensure that the implementation of the legislation is based on the protection of the rights of all people with its upcoming guidelines!

The use of AI has played an important role in the surveillance, oppression and killings of Palestinians by Israel for many years, and has recently intensified. But the sole aim of the Israeli military-industrial complex is not to kill indiscriminately, but to use the occupied Palestinian territory as a testing ground for weapons and surveillance technologies that are later sold on the global market. We explore what this means for Palestinian fundamental rights and freedoms, the broader struggle against militarisation and the surveillance society. As A. Loewenstein pointed out: "What starts in Palestine never stays there."

As part of the international project Regional Openness Index, coordinated by the regional network of non-governmental organisations, Action SEE, we analysed the transparency of the National Assembly of the Republic of Slovenia. The analysis compared four factors: Transparency, accessibility, integrity of MPs and efficiency of the National Assembly. Once again, the National Assembly proved to be the second most open in the region. While this is encouraging, there is still room for improvement. In the previous period (2020), the biggest problem was the integrity of MPs. This time, efficiency received the lowest rating.

We informed the officials that we expect them to ensure respect for and protection of human rights.
